This teacher really helps you with your speaking and listening skills. Each lessons she asks what I did that week and follow up questions. This really helps with a better understanding of my Japanese and I feel that I improve each time she asks me questions!!

Karen is a very patient and kind teacher. The lessons are both insightful and fun. Highly recommend!

Lessons are great and inspire me to learn more.

Otani Sensei is a great teacher. She is kind and gives clear feedback and instruction. In my classes with her, she balances speaking practices and understanding well when choosing to speak either Japanese or English.

Karen-san has been a wonderful teacher for several months now. We work from the textbook to reinforce after spending about half the class either reviewing self-study writing exercises or practicing conversation. She has been very flexible, patient, and supportive and a real joy to study with! I feel I have progressed significantly under her care and truly enjoyed the process.

Karensan is always helpful, cheerful, encouraging, and patient. I have been doing lessons with her once a week, sometimes two, for three months and will continue with her until I move to Japan.
